More efficiently check if Layout Builder is enabled for display mode

Created on 7 February 2024, 6 months ago

I am attempting to set a Twig variable in a node preprocess hook holding whether Layout Builder is enabled for the given view display.

A few things are confusing to me. When checking the $variables['view_mode'] variable, it shows as "full" even though the "Full content" display is not enabled within the "Custom display settings" on the content type.

After a bit of digging, the node is using the "default" display even though it believes it is using the "full" display.

If I were to attempt to load the "full" display when not enabled through "Custom display settings," it returns null.

Below is the most succinct snippet I could whip up to mitigate the issue and get my desired result.

Is there an easier or more Drupal way to check if Layout Builder is enabled for the current display?

function hook_preprocess_node(array &$variables) {
  /** @var \Drupal\node\NodeInterface $node */
  $node = $variables['node'];

  /** @var \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeManager $entity_type_manager */
  $entity_type_manager = \Drupal::service('entity_type.manager');
  $view_display_storage = $entity_type_manager
    ->getStorage('entity_view_display');

  /** @var \Drupal\Core\Entity\Entity\EntityViewDisplay|null $view_display */
  $view_display = $view_display_storage
    ->load('node.' . $node->bundle() . '.' . $variables['view_mode']);

  if ($view_display === NULL) {
    $view_display = $view_display_storage
      ->load('node.' . $node->bundle() . '.default');
  }

  $variables['layout_builder_enabled'] = $view_display
    ->getThirdPartySetting('layout_builder', 'enabled');
}

    You can use the entity display repository service

    Apologies for the late reply.

    This was the solution! Thanks so much for your help.

    Below is my refactored snippet.

    function hook_preprocess_node(array &$variables) {
      /** @var \Drupal\node\NodeInterface $node */
      $node = $variables['node'];
    
      /** @var \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityDisplayRepository entity_display_repository */
      $entity_display_repository = \Drupal::service('entity_display.repository');
    
      $view_display = $entity_display_repository
        ->getViewDisplay($node->getEntityTypeId(), $node->bundle());
    
      $variables['layout_builder_enabled'] = $view_display
        ->getThirdPartySetting('layout_builder', 'enabled');
    }

    Was this added to Core?
    Is there a patch?
    Or is the solution in #3 a workaround?
    Without a patch shouldn't this be active?

    Should the workaround be incorporated into core in someway?

    I hadn't thought about it at the time, but #5 raises a good point.

    Is the discrepancy between the view mode available at $variables['view_mode'] and the real currently-active view mode worth raising Pan issue in core?

    Or is this perhaps by design, and I am misunderstanding the variable's intention?
